Limited supply means buyers must adjust to higher Brussels sprouts prices
This year's Brussels sprouts supply is not particularly large in the Netherlands. "Nationally, growers are harvesting about a third less. That's mainly due to the dry summer, but the wet fall didn't spur further growth. In fact, some fields were completely lost," says André Noordhoek of Noordhoek Agro, who grows Brussels sprouts and handles five fellow growers' sales.
